A Suicides Grave.

4 strange discovery has been made
on the Breckenridge Moor, about three
miles to the west of Strathayen, La
narkshirc. MIR. HASTE, the proprietor,
has Icen for some time engaged IN oX-

following explanation. Fully cen

Of shocmaking. His master traced
his fugitive apprentice as far Is

returned by way Of Strathayen, where
they rested fora night, thepoor captive
being lodged in the "Auld Jail. q" In
the morning it was discovered that the
lad had committed suicide by strangu
latiCn rather than return to his former
occupation. Means were adopted for
the disposal Of the body. The church
ward was consecrated ground. The young
suicide must find resting-place IN an
unknown grave, and he carried, under
